Abstract
An orthodontic correction device includes a correction unit that is adapted to be removably worn on a dental arch. The correction unit includes at least one first receiving part for receiving at least one first tooth which needs correction. The shape of the first receiving part allows the first tooth to move toward the alveolar bone. At least one elongated opening is formed on the occlusal surface of the correction unit and extends to the lingual surface and the buccal surface of the correction unit. The opening exposes parts of the occlusal surface, the lingual surface and the buccal surface of the first tooth. A force exerting assembly is configured to contact the first tooth through the opening, thereby exerting a force on the first tooth to press the first tooth into the alveolar bone.
Claims14
An orthodontic correction device, comprising:
- a first correction unit adapted to be removably worn on a dental arch;
- a first receiving part formed in the first correction unit and configured to receive a first tooth of the dental arch which needs correction, wherein a shape of the first receiving part allows the first tooth to move toward an alveolar bone;
- a second receiving part formed in the first correction unit and configured to receive a second tooth of the dental arch which does not need correction, wherein a shape of the second receiving part conforms to a shape of the second tooth and the second receiving part extends to an undercut area of the second tooth;
- a first opening formed on a first occlusal surface of the first correction unit, wherein the first opening is elongated and extends to a first lingual surface and a first buccal surface of the first correction unit which are opposite to each other, a position of the first opening corresponds to a position of the first tooth, and the first opening exposes parts of an occlusal surface, a lingual surface, and a buccal surface of the first tooth;
- and
- a force exerting assembly configured to contact the first tooth through the first opening, thereby exerting a force on the first tooth to press the first tooth into the alveolar bone.
An orthodontic correction device, comprising:
- a correction unit adapted to be removably worn on a dental arch;
- and
- a protrusion disposed on an occlusal surface of the correction unit, wherein a position of the protrusion corresponds to a position of a first tooth, which needs correction, of the opposing dental arch, and the protrusion is configured to press the first tooth into an alveolar bone.
